I'm a Charter user, and something has changed between charter and
hotmail so that I can no longer send email to hotmail.com accounts. I
CAN send if I use Charter's web mail interface, but I much prefer to
stick with pine.
I suspect that the problem is that I'm behind a linksys router using
private IP's and NAT. I've tried talking to Charter tech support, but
they are worthless -- they just tell me that they only support Outlook
email.
I've tried configuring Pine so the it uses the Charter smtp server
directly, but that doesn't seem to help, either. Right now, I'm using
my local machine, and routing through Charter.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Bill

::Dances around::
Got so much great swag at the flea this time ^_^;
Anyway, I picked up two Dolch 486DX/33s, on board scsi, 32meg
for $15.
It's been a loooong time since I've run linux on a 486 (slack
2.something, iirc)
I'm thinking Debian potato would be alright? I most likely won't
install X, but if I do, I'll use X3.foo with a minimalist
windowmanager... Any suggestions?
It's going to be alot of shoehorning for sure.
I won't lie, I haven't ran a linux system since my P200 died, she
was a fileserver and random-use machine. So, getting these
running would be great so I could fool around at work during slow
hours.
Thanks,
James

In case you haven't heard, M$ is auditing a dozen or so large school
districts for compliance on licensing. Of course, this will be ugly and
will run one district an estimated $1,000,000 per year to comply with
M$. That's $1,000,000 more then they pay now. M$ is offering a simplified
arrangement whereby a school system pays a flat fee for every Intel box
(regardless of what it might actually be running) that would run that same
district about $30,000. You can see where this is headed!
Aside from noting that people's dishonesty about paying the real costs
associated with M$ software has gotten them into this trouble (if only
because the real costs are not apparent to "management"), I'm wondering
what is available as a real alternative to M$ for the great unwashed masses.
Of course, the answer I would expect to hear is "Linux!", but...
I'm talking about a solution that is useable by those who are not rabid
members of a LUG, or Sys admins in their day job. I'm talking about
productivity software that will seamlessly read and write M$ file formats
(Excel, Word, etc.). I don't know, for example, if Star Office is a real
alternative because I don't know how well it interoperates with those who
use Word, for example, on a daily basis. Perhaps there is a solution that
will reliably run M$ applications without having to buy the OS, but that is
only a step in the right direction.
I was hoping to hear suggestions about what is out there and if Linux is
ready to work seamlessly in heterogeneous High-Tech world. This might be a
good topic for one of the WLUG meetings...

Most drives require +5 and + 12 volt supplies. Some newer (very new) drives
only require +12V.

Subject: [Wlug] shot power supply?
I have a Dell Dimension 4100 and I am pretty sure that the power supply is
shot. I was wondering if there are any tests that I can do to make sure
that it is the power supply and not something else. I am sure that there is
nothing wrong with the power cord. When I plug in the cord and push the
power button nothing happens and nothing lights up. I was also wondering
why there are four cords going to each drive. I know it needs a positive
and negative and posibly a ground but what is the last one for. What does
each cord do? Is it possible to replace it with a generic PSU becuase i
heard that only dell ones will work with a dell computer.
Thanks
